On the Air

AI, Automation, Security, and the Future of Storage
Storage is one of the oldest technologies in IT, but don’t think that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks! In fact, storage continues to be the technology where some of the coolest innovations are taking place such as predictive analytics and AI.
On this episode of On the Air, we’ll discuss some of the latest and greatest advances in storage, and where it makes sense to start incorporating them into your data center today. We’ll be joined by an IT pro from the Spiceworks Community as well as an expert from HPE’s Nimble Storage platform.
What we’ll discuss:
Storage that compares your application usage to past history AND every other companies’ usage to make configuration recommendations
Can your storage automate recovery and even predict issues before they happen? (Or will it tell you “I’m sorry, I can’t do that Dave”?)
The technology that’s driving the dropping cost of flash
How security at the storage level could be a lifesaver
